The cool clear fall air is traditionally the time for tsukimi (moon viewing). It’s really just a good excuse to have a picnic in the evening while the weather is still warm.
What happens?
Tsukimi at the historical Mukōjima-Hyakkaen Garden will include cultural performances such as koto playing, as well as tea ceremonies and lantern painting. Numbers for the lantern painting are limited to only 35 people.
The garden usually closes at dusk, so this is a unique opportunity to explore the garden at night. Scattered throughout the garden are washi (lanterns with poems to the moon).
